Paying off tab

No one answers when I ask a question here but as the eternal optomist
I'm going to try again. I wish to pay off my Medium Tab balance of
258.00 but I just paid my monthly bill of 78.69 a few minutes ago and
when I tried to pay off tab it seemed that I would have had to pay it
with my phone bill. My question is if I pay the $258 separately now
will they accept it. Would so appreciate an imminent answer as I wish to
take care of this now.

Hey Lynda! Robert is right, your Tab will be added on to your next bill and any payment that you make until then will be reflected on the bill. Just to let you know, you will not be able to overpay your account through credit card; however, you can definitely transfer the funds to your account through online banking. Keep in mind that you will be billed the Tab + taxes. Hope this helps!

There could be several reasons why OP would want to pay off their tab sooner, but like you said, it's an interest-free loan. So unless there's any plan to port out to another carrier, cancel the line later or do an early upgrade, there's likely no real benefit to paying off the tab sooner.

The only other reason I can think of is if the customer will be moving to a province with higher sales tax (say moving from AB to BC), plans on changing their number and rather buy-out the tab at a lower tax percentile.

I'm not sure if this question is being asked of me or someone else but if it's me...the reason I'm paying it off is because interest free or not I'm not a bill carrying person. I'm from the old school where you purchase something only when you can afford it. Don't like owing money to anyone. Hope this clears up my motivation.
